Alba Mineral Resources plc provided an update on the Company's Clogau-St David's Gold Mine ("Mine"). The Company's Phase 1 Surface Drilling campaign at the Mine has recommenced. Drill hole LL004 was drilled to 62.4 metres, but due to difficult ground conditions encountered, the end of the hole was called before the hole had intersected the expected quartz zone. The Company's drilling contractors are currently preparing the drill collar for LL005. The trajectory of LL005 will be steeper (-55°) to obtain a deeper lode intersection around 20 metres below the intersections obtained in LL001-003. Pilot Processing Plant: Final minor adjustments and tests are being carried out in respect of the Company's pilot gold processing plant, and the Company accordingly expects to be able to commence processing the ~36 tonne bulk sample collected in September-October 2020 in the week commencing 11 January 2021. A small amount of bulk sample material was sent by the Company to an independent laboratory for bench-scale testing, in order to validate the process flowsheet which has been designed by the Company for ore having the particular characteristics of Clogau ore. The Company reported that the bench-scale testing was successful. In particular: good gold recoveries were achieved, with 78.06% of the total gold content being captured in the Gravity concentrate plus Concentrate 1 of the Gravity tailings fractions; and a gold concentrate was produced, grading 20.7 grams per tonne. The Company is pleased to confirm, therefore, that the independent bench-scale testwork undertaken has confirmed that a gold concentrate can be produced from the bulk sample with good recoveries of gold to concentrate.
